| went from
ati blue + ati aquablue special ati blue + uvl actinic white
to
ati blue + ati aquablue special ati blue + ati purple +
It's a regal tang. Eventually he'll move to the bigger tank once it's set up, or I'll pull the rockwork apart to catch him one of the two. It glows under my lights to the point it throws the white balance off on my camera. Really pretty fish. Fun to watch and it sleeps on it's side | |

I can catch any fish in my tank in no time without touching anything especially the yellow bellied regal Tang lol there pigs and fall for it within seconds. here's my trap its a must have. | |

| It's not a 29 inch bulb. It's like a 22 or 23 inch bulb. Not a colt it's a kenya tree. My heater died and it got cold. It's back to full size today happy and dropping babies everywhere. I hate it. I was hoping it'd just stay dead. I have no shortage of them popping up everywhere. | |

| I can honestly say, if I were doing this again (which I am) I would definitely start at 75g reef ready, and just layout the expense to run a big tank. The 29 is constant maintenance. | |

How many hours per week may I ask? No clue. Between testing, dosing, topping off, the monthly water change, and staring in awe wondering "WTF IS THAT?" It all just runs together after a while. | |

| The colony of xenia on the right was chopped to about half that size monday night. Stupid xenia. and google PHE zoanthids, that's what the purples look like. The candy cane in front of it just throws the white balance on my camera way out, so I can't really get much of a pic of the red ring around the mouth. | |
